DENTAL BIOMATERIALS
The BIOMAT research group focuses on diverse kinds of biomaterials with orofacial application, and encompasses fundamental material science and biological cell culture, micro-organism and animal research, as well as applied laboratory and clinical research.
Current major research lines include:
- Biocompatibility and cariogenicity of dental biomaterials
- Dental adhesive technology
- Translational research from fundamental material science to clinical trials
- Dental ceramics as restorative and implant biomaterial
- Endodontology (including pulp capping, pulp revascularization and regeneration)
- Mechanobiology in implant dentistry and optimization of implant osseointegration
- Clinical evaluation of direct, semi-direct and indirect adhesive restorative materials and procedures
- Clinical studies on oral implant therapy and rehabilitation
